I've noticed that some of the servers have PHPnuke installed (like server 20).

What about POSTnuke?

How about having that as an option also ?

PostNuke is so ridiculously easy to install, it really isn't necessary to have a built-in script in cPanel. ;) If you have problems using their install, after having read all their instructions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Ok...so I'm having issues with installing postnuke! argh, everyone tells me how easy it is to install...but I've tried to no avail! Here is what I have figured so far:

 

on the install I will get the following error:

No database made.

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user: 'pnuke@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/davegor/public_html/postnuke/html/pnadodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 170

Error connecting to db

Program: /home/davegor/public_html/postnuke/html/install/db.php - Line N.: 45

Database: Phoenix

Error (1045) : Access denied for user: 'pnuke@localhost' (Using password: YES)

 

Being the genious I am...I figure that is something wrong with my user/pass on the MySql DB I created?

 

Here is what I have in MySql Manger:

 Sql Account Maintenance  

Databases

davegor_Phoenix

 

 

Users in davegor_Phoenix

davegor_pnuke

 

Connection Strings

Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:davegor_Phoenix:localhost","davegor_pnuke","<PASSWORD HERE>");

PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "davegor_pnuke", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("davegor_Phoenix");

 

I've double checked my password for the DB account and everything! Any thoughts? I've had mild success with PHPNuke, but just need something a little more "dumb friendly"! Thanks!

I am thinking the same thing as leezard... you have to create a user AND assign the user to the database.

 

Two steps when it would seem like only one.

Hey Guys,

 

Thanks for the help. I really think there should be a forum called "Post here, and fix it 5 minutes after you Post", or something. I swear everytime I post a problem, even after HOURS of trying to figure it out myself...I fix it 5 minutes later! Maybe it's the magical powers of TCH forums? Anyway, I wasn't putting in the database information in correctly. I wasn't aware that you had to use the following format for entering the data:

 

database name = sqlprefix_databasename

user name = sqlprefix_user

password = password

 

I wasn't adding the "sqlprefix" which was screwing everything up! Silly new people like me ;) Anyway, Thank you all for your quick response, and I hope this helps others having the same problem!

 

-Dave

(ps: My postnuke site is up and running @ www.davegorrie.com/postnuke/html/)
